Alex Oliveira Will Continue To Train With American Top Team

October 3, 2016 | Posted by Joseph Lee

In an interview with MMA Fighting, Alex Oliveira said even though his relationship with Will Brooks is strained, he will continue to train at American Top Team. He beat Brooks by TKO in the third round at UFC Fight Night 96. Here are highlights:

On his issues with Brooks: “I don’t care what people say or don’t say, he started it after the weigh-in by calling me names, my manager and my coaches. He crossed the line, he didn’t need that. After the fight, I exaggerated, I crossed the line, and I apologize to everyone, but I will never apologize to him. I don’t regret what I did to him.”

On missing weight: “We apologized to him for missing weight, said that we would understand if he doesn’t wanted to fight anymore. He accepted to fight, but then he completely changed. He started insulting me and my family. During the fight, I knew I’d be too much for him. And he’s lucky I only hit him with my left hand. If I hit him with the right hand, I’d have cut his face up.”

On still training with ATT: “I’ll still train at ATT. I won’t think twice about it. If he tries something there, things will get ugly. I always train there, and that won’t change because of the things he did this week. That’s between us. We’re two men, and if he started it, he has to deal with it. I’m a cool guy, I won’t do anything if he doesn’t. I don’t like this, but he crossed the line.”
